Biographical Narrative
Nick
Most of the guys on campus end up spending a lot of time with Nick. Nick is a clinician at San Pasqual Academy. He is Buddhist he works with boys eight, he also runs a group called G’s to Gents. Nick spends time helping adolescents like me work through personal problems.
Last fall, I attended a fair for special needs children in Balboa Park. Nick and a couple of other people including myself were at this fair because we were volunteering for a group call “Big Animals for Little Kids.” When we first arrived, I look at it and it looked small and not many people knew about it. i thought it was going to be a waste,but it was not. the first thing we did was go to the back and got dressed into the mascots cartoon character. I dressed up as Tigger and my guide was Nick so i did not run into anyone when I was walking around. As we walked around, we laughed and had a good time. At the end of the day, I felt happy because I made little kids happy.
On a hot day last fall, Nick invited me to go surfing with a group of people at La Jolla Cove. From the beach we could see the cliffs and smell the saltwater. We went there to go surfing, but I had another idea. I borrowed a board from the surf instructor to teach Nick how to skim board. We walked away from the group of kids who were surfing, playing volleyball, and playing softball. First, I showed him how to stand on the board in the very shallow water. When it was his turn, he tossed the board into the water and jumped on it. But, he fell backwards on his butt! I thought it was hilarious, but I did not laugh because I didn’t want to be rude. Nick got up, grabbed the board, and tried again. This time, he didn’t fall, but he lost the board from under his feet. Even though I did not realize it at the time, Nick was teaching me how to be myself and have fun.
A week ago on a typical warm fall day, Nick knocked on the door of my house. He asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. We walked and talked about random things until we got to the clinic. We entered his office. I sat in a rolling chair by his desk. He asked me, “Is anything bugging you.” I responded telling him about dream I had. While I was talking, he wrote down what I was saying and asked me questions. Then, he retold the dream to me. As he slowly read the notes, I analyzed my dream. He asked me questions that caused to me think about the root of the dream. When I got up to leave, I felt relieved, thankful, and happy.
Looking back on all of this, Nick has helped me more than most people would expect especially since he is a clinical social work who doesn’t even work in my house. Recently, I found out about a family tragedy. Before I was able to even tell him about what happened, he hunted me down and arranged to take me off campus. Of course, he asked about how I was doing. Through our conversation, he helped me to realize the stages of grief and process my emotions. in a healthy manner. Throughout the past year, Nick’s helpfulness has helped me to slowly find myself. I am becoming a more sincere young man because Nick has helped me to process my emotions.

Additionally, pretty people have it better. People tend to be nice to pretty face. One last reason is I could make a lot of money. Being pretty, I would have more opportunities in the public area. For example, I could get a modeling job. I could also become an actor more faster than an average looking person. In the future, I hope not to die fat and ugly.

"Two Kinds" Jing-Mei's Shoes Paragraph
If someone was pushing me to become a prodigy piano player, I would feel mad, angry, and volatile. I do not like being forced to do things that are ridiculous. I would react by disagreeing. I would not do any of the work that I was told to do. I would totally sabotage myself by faking an injury. I would pretend that I hit the wall and broke my knuckles. I would bandage up my hands so they would look swollen. The pressure to become a prodigy would harm me because it would not be beneficial to my mental health.

odyssey project
Brain over brawn is not necessarily correct. In many situations, humans are able to use their wits to solve problems. Sometimes, physical strength helps people to succeed. In the Odyssey by Homer, Odysseus is able to over to overcome the obstacles before him by using cunningness and strength.
Odysseus uses his cunningness and strength to defeat many monsters, like the cyclops. For example, he defeats the cyclops by telling the him a fake name. Then after that Odysseus gets the Cyclops drunk so he can defeat the Cyclops by blinding him with a stake that him and his men made. This shows that obstacles can be overcame with both brain and brawn. This also shows that it is good to use both brains and brawn. Another time would be when Odysseus uses his cunningness and strength to help his country beat the Trojans by making a giant horse, with a hole inside so that they could put in about ten solders. This shows that his wits and the strength of his comrades in arms could help in the take over of Troy. This also shows that not just strength can win a war. Even though several of the gods tried to stop Odysseus on his journey home he was victorious and got home after twenty long years.
Odysseus also encounters another kind of monster, the goddesses. For example when Odysseus was at Calypso’s island, he was manipulated so he would not want to leave the island because she made/let him lay with her in bed. She also offered immortality if he stayed with on her lonely island. This shows that Odysseus weak because he could not overcome his lust for goddesses. This also shows that not even Odysseus the wise could overcome lust for a goddess. One other obstacle that he and his men had to pass was the goddess Circe. Odysseus‘ men arrive at Circe's fortress on her island. She turned all of his men in to pigs because she does not like men. When that happened Odysseus got a plant form the god Helios that would make Circe's powers not work on him. After he got the plant he went to Circe's fortress to get his men back. She gave up admittedly after she noticed the her powers did not work on Odysseus. So she came up with a compromise that she would release his men if he laid in bed with her. This shows that strong and wise in a tight situation like him being blackmailed by Circe. This also that he is a wise and strong man by doing what he did to save his men.
Odysseus finally achieves his goal of going home to Ithica by using his cunningness and strength. In life people go through obstacles just like they did back in the Greek God times. Having both wits and strength go hand in hand with overcoming obstacles.

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" Before You Read
When I look into the orange groves I see a prison walls but this time it is a wall of orange trees. I see my people working for the white man like it is okay.I hear nothing but the birds and the wind for most of the year. All I can smell is the citrus from the orange groves. I fell relaxed but trapped around orange groves and mountains. Some times I wish I could leave but at the end of the day I can’t leave. Getting to live among these trees makes me fell claustrophobic out side in the open air because even if I leave I know I will have to came back.

Kennedy Nonfiction: Before You Read - Primary or Secondary Source
I would rather learn from a primary source because who ever is the writer or speaker has some sort of first hand experience. I would also rather learn from a primary source because it is more reliable then a person that was not there. It would also be better then a secondary source because the secondary source was not there at the time it happen and they get there information from a lot of different sources.
"American History" Content Paragraph
She should be more upset about not being aloud in Eugene's house because his mother did not let her in. She did this because she did not think much of minorities. But on the other hand she should have been upset that JFK got shot because he helped out her people a lot more then any one else would because h saw them as real people.
"American History" Before You Read: Discrimination
I was discriminated when I was living in Seattle Washington, because I was one of the only Hispanic kids in my neighborhood and the rest of them were white kids. I could not go out side that much because there was a lot of people that dose not like my kind in West Seattle because it is most uppity white people that do not want a colored kid around there children. They think that I would be a bad influence on there children because I am Hispanic decedent. After I left Washington I have not been discriminated for the color of my skin.

Autobiographical Narrative
3 Draft
A Mistake
My uncle told me that I could not go out but I did not care what he said at the time. I’m with my uncle because my adopted family kicked me out. I was in El Cajon and it was outside when this all happened. At the time I was gang affiliated the same with most of my friends. It was around 6:00pm, after my uncle told me not to go out and he was gone I left, but before I left I was on the edge of not going because in the back of my head I know I was going to get in trouble. I did not care at the time.
I had on some Dickies, Cortices, a white T and a blue flannel. I was on my way to the party when I was walking by my school when Cruz drove up with the big homie, He told me to hop in, so I did. Then we were on our way to the homie Juan’s house in El Cajon to go get him. He was all geeked up, and then we decided to have a bro day instead of going to the party. The Big homie dropped us off in the East Side by El Cajon.
It was about 6:20pm when we went fishing at the liquor store, something I don’t really do that often but this time I did for some reason. Then I went to one of the homeless guys and asked him to buy us some brews. He said Okay, we all pitched in and got about 15 beers for the 3 of us. After that we put in a Juan’s backpack. I was paranoid at the time and I was not high. I think I was paranoid because I was not mellow at the time and I don’t go fishing often. It was out in the open,and I saw a couple of cop cars that is why I did not like going out and asking homeless people to buy us beer.
When we got all the beers in a backpack we went to the block to go get some kush/green crack a type marijuana that was my favorite at the time, this time Cruz and I bought it. He handed it to Cruz because he looked older then me but truth be said he was not older then me, I was older then him. Then we went to a mountain called “Stoner Mountain.” We kicked back and drank a couple of beers and smoked all the weed we had. We were about six blocks away from Stoner Mountain when the cops drove up on us. We all dipped out in different directions. I hopped over the fence into the ditches. I jumped down and started to run towards Stoner Mountain again because I new they wouldn’t catch me there. I ran the whole six blocks non stop because I did not want to get caught up by the police. I assumed Cruz and Juan most likely ran in the other direction. I ended up at Stoner Mountain in the end of the it all and got away. This to me was when the fun started happening. I went to the top of Stoner Mountain and called Cruz on his phone. I told him to get back to stoner mountain I had the beer and I did not want to drink them by myself. So when they got back to the mountain we shot gunned all the beer. At that time we were all under the influence with green crack.
It was about 9:00pm now and I was on my way home. I got home about 9:35pm I tried to come in as quiet as I could but I was messed up, no doubt about it. I was hoping that my uncle was not home but of course he was in the room waiting for me in the room. We shared the same room. I opened the door and he jumped up and struck me right in the nose. My nose started to gush blood,blood was all over the place, I did not know what to do I was in shock. Then he through me against the wall. I hit my head and busted my lip open. After a while he just stopped. He told me to clean up the blood, take a shower and throw out my shirt because it was covered in blood.
When I was throwing out my shirt, I thought to myself that was fun and all but stupid as well, because I could of got arrested, killed and could have gone to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. I would never do that again because it was highly irresponsible and stupid. At that time I would not want to get in another fight with my uncle.

A Mistake
My uncle told me that I could not go out but I did not care what he said at the time. I’m with my uncle because my adopted family kicked me out. I was in El Cajon and it was outside when this all happened. At the time I was gang affiliated the same with most of my friends. It was around 6:00pm, after my uncle told me not to go out and he was gone I left, but before I left I was on the edge of not going because in the back of my head I know I was going to get in trouble. I did not care at the time.
I had on some Dickies, Cortices, a white T and a blue flannel. I was on my way to the party when I was walking by my school when Cruz drove up with the big homie, He told me to hop in, so I did. Then we were on our way to the homie Juan’s house in El Cajon to go get him. He was all geeked up, and then we decided to have a bro day instead of going to the party. The Big homie dropped us off in the East Side by El Cajon.
It was about 6:20pm when we went fishing at the liquor store, something I don’t really do that often but this time I did for some reason. Then I went to one of the homeless guys and asked him to buy us some brews. He said Okay, we all pitched in and got about 15 beers for the 3 of us. After that we put in a Juan’s backpack. I was paranoid at the time and I was not high. I think I was paranoid because I was not mellow at the time and I don’t go fishing often. It was out in the open,and I saw a couple of cop cars that is why I did not like going out and asking homeless people to buy us beer.
When we got all the beers in a backpack we went to the block to go get some kush/green crack a type marijuana that was my favorite at the time, this time Cruz and I bought it. He handed it to Cruz because he looked older then me but truth be said he was not older then me, I was older then him. Then we went to a mountain called “Stoner Mountain.” We kicked back and drank a couple of beers and smoked all the weed we had. We were about six blocks away from Stoner Mountain when the cops drove up on us. We all dipped out in different directions. I hopped over the fence into the ditches. I jumped down and started to run towards Stoner Mountain again because I new they wouldn’t catch me there. I ran the whole six blocks non stop because I did not want to get caught up by the police. I assumed Cruz and Juan most likely ran in the other direction. I ended up at Stoner Mountain in the end of the it all and got away. This to me was when the fun started happening. I went to the top of Stoner Mountain and called Cruz on his phone. I told him to get back to stoner mountain I had the beer and I did not want to drink them by myself.

Free Choice
I think there is a spiritual and physical world. Most of us are only aware of the physical world. It is sad because they don’t think outside the box and when you do that you can go deeper in the spiritual world. Also most people do not think about what they are doing to them self and their advisement. We are slowly killing the planet we live on and slowly killing our self by all the stuff we put in the earth and in the air. We need to change!!!
